you are like a building
with stained-glass windows.
You always shimmer and shine
when the sun is out,
when darkness sets in,
your true magnificence is revealed
only if there is light shining
from within you.
It’s your duty,
and yours alone
to keep your inner light shining bright,
remaining uncompromised
in your faith learn
to love yourself first
instead of loving
the idea of other people loving you.
